OpenOffice.org Writer vs. Microsoft Word
06/24/2005 09:35 PMSeveral years ago, I wrote "Opening Up to OpenOffice.org: Finding an
Alternative to Microsoft Word" -- my most quoted article. At that time
OpenOffice.org (OOo) was barely known, so I confined myself to
highlights. Now that OOo is starting to be used in business, a more
detailed look seems overdue. Accordingly, I compared the beta of OOo
Writer 2.0 with Microsoft Word 2003. Both are adequate for most users'
purposes, so I focused on functions that power users are likely to
want:

Serbian Cyrilic to Latin and vice versa in
OpenOffice.org Writer. Transliteration can be
applied to all text in a document, or only to
selected text.

09/16/2004 09:13 AMAround the time OpenOffice.org 1.1 RC was released, I was migrating a
small company from Corel WordPerfect to OpenOffice.org. OpenOffice.org
by itself does not support reading or writing WordPerfect files, but a
tool called wpd2sxw can convert WordPerfect files to OpenOffice.org
format (SXW). After conversion with wpd2sxw, which was rather good but
had problems with some formatting features, I applied macros to
documents based on different templates to make more than 2,000
converted documents look very similar to original WordPerfect files
they were generated from. This article presents some macro "building
blocks" you can use to modify a document's formatting or to generate
well-formatted documents from plain text files.

How to choose a good instructional book
about OpenOffice.org
06/15/2004 11:43 AMIf the success of an open source project can be measured by the number
of third-party books about it, then OpenOffice.org is thriving. Not
only is OpenOffice.org represented by a dozen books and pieces of
training material on Amazon.com, but interest in OpenOffice.org is
widespread enough that each of the books is geared to a slightly
different audience. This article gives an overview of four of the
current OpenOffice.org books, ending with a suggestion of which to buy
for your own needs.

Macworld review: Nisus Writer Express
Macworld review: Nisus Writer Express
12/31/2003 03:52 AMFew applications have been able to overcome Microsoft's word
processing juggernaut, but Nisus Writer has maintained a respectable
following in a field littered with also-rans. Nisus Writer Express
marks Nisus's entry into the world of OS X–native applications, and
the end of updates to Nisus Writer. As such, the program sports a new
interface with features -- such as drawers containing the program's
tools -- typical of Cocoa applications. But because it's essentially a
brand-new program, Nisus Writer Express doesn't yet include all the
features that were available in Nisus Writer; it will need them in
order to be a tenable replacement for your current word processor.

Book Review: Against All Enemies
Book Review: Against All Enemies
04/17/2004 03:20 PMWhen Against All Enemies was published a few weeks ago, it was greeted
by a flurry of press and blogsphere discussion, almost entirely
focused on the book's criticisms of the Bush administration. Those
criticisms are largely contained within the book's final chapter, a
chapter that feels grafted on, and which is significantly different in
tone from the rest of the book. It's unfortunate that this chapter has
become the focus for discussion of the book - a fact which argues
that, perhaps, it shouldn't have been included at all. The majority
of the book is a discussion of how the first Bush administration and
the Clinton administration gradually came to realize the existence of
al Qaeda and tried to figure out what to do about it. The story is
framed, at the beginning and the end, by the events of September 11,
2001 (during which Clarke was one of the people primarily responsible
for government operations during the hours until President Bush took
charge) - but that is simply the framing; the real meat of the book
takes place in an earlier time. The time that laid the groundwork for
that day.

Book Review: WarDriving
Book Review: WarDriving
05/27/2004 06:24 PMNobody likes to make enemies, but I have to be honest about the
dollar-to-content value of this book: Let me be clear from the outset.
I don't know any of the authors of this book, except by reputation,
and have nothing but the highest regard for their technical knowledge
and their achievements. The folks who wrote WarDriving: Drive, Detect,
Defend are experts about most of what they write about, and offer
great technical insights and tips throughout. That said, I can't
recommend this book primarily because the best advice is already
available on the Web for free in much the same form; chunks of the
most practical early part of the book are repetitive to cover
different operating systems or scenarios with the same approach; the
middle part of the book comprises a 60-page-long set of anecdotes with
long code extracts; and the last part of the book features security
advice that's somewhat strange focusing on commercial software and
hardware that's obscure and hard to use and mostly out of keeping with
the kind of audience that could possibly be interested in this title.
A factor that led to book bloat (520 pages, no CD-ROM, $49.99) is the
lengthy reproduction of code, sometimes double spaced that a reader
must be expected to input rather than download or copy and paste from
a Web page. Further, many of the programs seem too idiosyncratic to be
of general utility, arguing against their inclusion in the printed
book even if other programs were printed in full. For fairness's sake,
after reading this book a few weeks ago, I sent the publisher's
publicist contact my remarks and a list of errors found in the book. I
was promised some follow up and didn't get it, so the statute of
limitations of waiting for a response to specifics has ended. I should
also make it clear that I have co-written a book on wireless
networking which has practically no overlap with this book. In
general, the book is best at collecting and providing documentation on
the trickiest aspects of scanning for, recording, and defending
against wardriving and Wi-Fi network cracking. Some of the areas on
defense are the strongest in the book, although other areas seem
highly misguided. From the first page of the book to the end of
Chapter 7, page 243, it's at its strongest. It's a cogent, how-to
guide to installing and...

Book Review: Integrated HTML and CSS
03/14/2005 05:04 PMTraditionally, when learning to code web pages, HTML is taught first,
followed by CSS, but since both are related, it would make more sense
to teach both at the same time. In this book, HTML and CSS are
combined, making them faster to learn. Designed with the beginner in
mind, this book assumes no prior knowledge of HTML or CSS. By Lee

06/30/2004 11:14 AMThere are times when you need to perform some task over and over, or
when a task is complex enough that doing it manually makes it hard to

operations with a single name so you can do the same thing repeatedly.
Automation is a first cousin to macros. It lets another application
